Are baby calves coming down with Salmonella or E Coli poisoning all the time? It seems reasonable that the risk is not in consumption, but letting the raw milk sit around for any length of time.
If anyone knows why, I would be curious to hear.
- noobermin 5y agoThat's probably why. People don't generally nurse cows to drink milk, it is put into containers where they will be exposed to the elements somewhat.
- heavyset_go 5y agoHave you seen the conditions that cattle are kept in on modern farms in the US? They're pumped full of antibiotics and some still die from the terrible conditions.
- metamet 5y ago> Are baby calves coming down with Salmonella or E Coli poisoning all the time? Yes, calves get neonatal salmonella infections. Cows also have a ruminant digestive system, which handles things a little differently than a human's.
- jazzyjackson 5y agoMilk is an ideal growth medium, every bacteria floating in the air loves to breed in the stuff, not least of which tuberculosis. A few hours old, maybe the concentrations are low. After a few days it becomes deadly.
- TacticalMalice 5y agoMilk is not necessarily sterile upon lactation only to be contaminated later. Pathogens such as Brucella and TB are shed in the milk itself.
